And also the motorway by us seems to be a death trap atm 😂😂

It’s not exactly on the way 😂😂

Thanks mate, honestly cutting out the squares was a nightmare as the material isn’t exactly playful! had to be careful not to chip it, this was just a mock up, trying to get hold of another panel to do a more finessed attempt! the guys who wrapped it are also insanely talented! haha I bet chap, tbh I’ve learnt at work that you can be careful and still break the clips so why waste time, box of poppers isn’t too expensive! they come on as soon as ignition is off, I control them through my phone, there’s a touch button on the module, discreetly hidden under the ashtray for “rozza response” 😂

Update: finished! got the guys at sign central to finish the wrap for me and also touch up the imperfections where the glue and material weren’t at all pleasing! had to wire 8 long ass thin bloomin wires into the control node but think the final product is worth it!

Welcome chap, feel like we’ve already been well introduced, but great to see a post!

You sir are Defintely an artist! And makes a lot of sense your parents being involved with lotus! sure seems passion has been passed down! Keep up the hard work we are all eagerly awaiting the finished result but also a pleasure along the road

Very true! Better save the pennies on the other hand! So I’ll give it a miss this time thanks 🙏

That’s very kind of you @davey_83! I would be well up but only just been sorted out by @Jez @ H-Dev have fun all that attend though!

Welcome to the forum mate good luck you’ll be fine!

Where you based mate?

Yeah it doesn’t mix well or spread well, I’ve moved into ez artic meltdown in the current day and it’s bloody good!

I’ll send you a video at some point tomorrow, If you pm me it’ll be easier

Finally sat down after a long day…. So story time! Cleaning- decided at this point to do some more intrusive cleaning, removed all the wheels so I could get stuck into the arches and clean out where those horrible “arch liners” on the rear keep all the soil so Alan titchmarsh can do a show about it. Every wash I have to pull them back and remove whatever’s hiding in there! anyway moving on, I adopted a new kit “I’ve had in the garage for a while but didn’t feel my civic was the right canvas” got the poor boys deluxe kit with all the bits and bobs including the nicest smelling wheel sealant, so upon removal and stripping and cleaning of the wheels I decided to give them a little protection for the daily crud I drive through, not going to lie the xxrs are dreadful for this sort of application as there’s so many grooves and crevasses which you an miss! and then buffing it off afterwards doesn’t always get all of it, next set of wheels I hope will be more achievable! after treating and cleaning the wheels, I cleaned up and serviced the coilovers and re applied protection on the threads. I like being a bit of a wash white so got the pressure washer out snowfoamed it to start with using autoglym polar blast which I think is pretty dreadful as it doesn’t really foam just more or less is soapy water, doesn’t seem to be any hang time so will be using it up then getting some better stuff! Follow on from that a hand wash using autofinesse lather ph neutral shampoo, after that decided to polish it for the hell of it only by hand as didn’t want to bring the big guns out till I had the time to strip it all off! Used the auto finesse triple 3 polish which is a bit of a cheat but hey ho then topped it with whatever the auto finesse sealant is called think it’s glisten ( being a spray wax wasn’t really hopeful it would last too long) My favourite part was Defintely polishing the exhaust with a bit of autosol and wire wool! Defintely cleans up well! Next up some exciting sheet

Basically you’ll need to have a few posts/ interactions first before doing any of that sort of stuff, once you’ve had a few posts etc then you’ll be able to sell stuff but will just need to have a picture with your forum name written down also in the picture to verify

How many snickers and blowjobs would that equate to? These wheels are pure beauties

As long as the car doesn’t throw you out you’ll be fine 😂

Thanks mate, they’ll be coming! Trying to find the time! Cheers bud, I know you want the good stuff it’s coming! especially now I’m waiting for parts from torqen which I’ve been told need to come from overseas 😂

That thing is a work of art! It’s like Mona Lisa!

If you’ve spent the money and done the work don’t take the risk mate, trailer hire shouldn’t be dreadful for a piece of mind,

I’ll say no on that one mate, as Ekona said try to disconnect/ immobilise the turbo to reduce any possible damage, problem is if you drive it over there you’ll be running it incredibly lean

When I say short way I mean short 😂

There is also a general topic section and also a technical but yeah right section, but anyway response to your question, you should be fine to drive it a short way without doing anything dreadful however where is your nearest mapper/ selected?

Next step, tackling the rear brakes and handbrake! Unfortunately I didn’t take any pics of adjusting the cleaning up the handbrake as didn’t think it was interesting enough! I had replaced the fronts with brembo aftermarket (shyte) for the mot as that was what the salesman agreed to go for (not going to lie they squeak and creak and fade really badly) so I decided an upgrade on the rear - ebc grooved and dimpled coupled will yellow stuff pads as I felt that was the best rating to go for as it was my daily mixed with potential track use- I did look at red stuff but seemed a bit too much. So on removal I decided to check over the calipers as the fronts were slightly sticking, so wanted to try and save premature brake failure, especially on £££ brakes! So after pulling the calipers off I noticed the that where the paint chips or comes off the salt/corrosion lifts up the shims causing the pads to stick/seize! so had to remove them best I could (however two of the torque bits were seized so I had to use a very sharp/ thin knife to remove as much of the corrosion a possible so the pads could move freely, once scrapped out they were okay but I really need to get a refurb) Shock horror once removing the discs I actually had shoes left which made me a bit happy as seemed it might not have been used for drifting! Cleaned up the backing plate, lubed up the T piece and checked the cables were free, stripped and cleaned the adjuster and refitted it back together, with the new discs on I adjusted the h/brake. They look awesome! (Now in the future- they are still really good and had no issues with them at all) please excuse the dreadful wheel nuts they will be going! At the same time I replaced brake fluid with motul rbf600 and the clutch fluid as I know the z suffers with brake fade! In the future I’m lookin to replace the dreadful brembo fronts discs and pads to stoptech rotors and Ferrodo pads think the look is really moving forwards!

It certainly does haha!
